Woodman's Food Market on the City of Waukesha's northeast side opened Friday morning, Clint Woodman said.

Woodman said the opening is five days ahead of its originally scheduled June 19 opening.

"Everything was ready," Woodman said. "We were ready with the registers and the store was well-stocked."

Scrima's Pizza, located inside the store, also opened Friday, Woodman said.

Customers coming into the store, located at 1600 E. Main St., at certain locations will have to deal with road construction taking place.

One of the entrances on E. Main St. is closed, but the one by the gas station/car wash that is being constructed on the east side is open. But Woodman said that entrance is open for drivers just for a right turn coming in and out.

Woodman said the entrance on Main Street that is closed should be open by the end of next week.

The other entrance, a Private Right of Way off South Highway 164 on the northeast side of the facility, is also closed.

But there are two entrances open on Manhattan Drive on the west side of the property.

Woodman added the gas, oil change and car wash is expected to open by the end of July.

Woodman said a grand opening that will include a ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for July 16.

The 240,000 square-foot grocery store is open 24 hours.
